I'm a newby and just bought a new 2017 CF 800 Zforce trail. Wondering if I could get some advice on what kinds of things that I should carry with me on my machine? Spare tire, tool kit, extra gas Etc. Most of my riding will be leisure....ish. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Welcome and congrats on the new machine. Just play it by ear on what to take...maybe some general tools, tire repair, gas if necessary but as always we recommend you do a few things first before any riding like ensure you have the recommended Unifilter air filter treated with a premium oil as the stock paper will nit be effective for fine materials, check all suspension, steering and component (engine & differential) bolts for correct torque. Check that all oil levels are correct and that the suspension has been greased. While riding for a while at least keep an eye on the coolant temp. Don't let it get over 4 bars and if the fan doesn't come on, don't continue to ride it..these are known for failing fan switches and have been the death of many engines. Making a by-pass is easy and we have that in our how-tos.

Enjoy your machine, be safe, break it in and get to know it before pushing it.
